Bonjour and Howdy everyone!

The only thing we love more than spending time with our friends and family is traveling.

Unfortunately, neither of us had foresight enough to pick careers that would bankroll the jet-setting lifestyle we both would so enjoy (though we still have our fingers crossed for Laura). Well, perhaps jet-setting isn't quite the word, more like, we'd like to take the occasional opportunity to journey outside of Houston's orbit.

Consequently, when it came time to put together a few thoughts about registering, we cleared a little spot to sit amid the books, the pots and pans, the dirty laundry and plates, the various implements that keep our shoebox-sized home humming along. We thought that an exhaustive run through Target or our friendly Super Ultra Savey-Max Department Store wasn't quite necessary.

Somehow, over the years - often by the seemingly endless generosity of our family - we've accumulated much of what we need. We ask now, humbled by that generosity, if friends or family are looking for ways to further support our shenanigans, please help us prepare for our first real adventure as husband and wife. We're off to Paris!


Love,
Nick & Laura

We're going to Paris, France, London, UK!

We're extremely excited about taking a little jaunt through Paris, the French Riviera, and London. To make our trip a bit easier to digest, we've broken it up into a few components. We set up this à la carte menu so that if you would like to support a particular piece or leg of the journey, you can select it. Thank you for your thoughtful gifts!

Never-ending croque monsieur buffet - to indulge Laura's late-night food cravings. (I think it's smiling at you.)
